What's coming up?

Okay, I was wrong. The new Megadeth is better than I expected and I am enjoying it quite a bit. Might get around to reviewing it here in a week or two.Next week is a theme week and it's going to be "Leftovers week". Does that mean I am serving up old pizza or day old pot roast? No, by leftovers I mean music such as demos, b-sides and previously unreleased material. Songs or versions of songs that for one reason or another didn't make it onto an album when they were first done. This week I will have these four reviews.

-Led Zeppelin-Coda: Perhaps one of the most well-known albums to feature previously unreleased material-Pre-Electric Wizard:A collection of demos from various bands that Justine Osbourne had before forming Electric Wizard

-Black-n-Blue-Rarities: A mixture of demos, live and previously unreleased tracks.

-Dee Snider- Never let the bastards wear you down: A different kind of leftovers album that I will explain in more detail when I review it.

Plus--One day this week I will reach into my twelve and seven inch singles and try to find some odd or somewhat unknown b-side material to spotlight.-A special B-side Heavy Metal Jukebox. I will find songs that were B-sides of singles that I have and throw them into a Heavy Metal Jukebox. Don't worry they will be songs you will know.

Now I think it's always safe to assume that most albums of rarities and previously unreleased material are generally mixed bags. You get some gems and you get some songs where you instantly hear why they were not used. So I will try to make this week fun and I hope you enjoy it.

"So, in closing, fuck you METAL MARK. Fuck you, fuck Lynch Mob, and fuck your shitty website!”
